Divorce final Sept. 9, 2014, ex is now going to recieve a workers comp settlement. can I get part of his settlement?

Were you aware of the pending worker compensation case prior to the divorce being granted? Was it disclosed in your ex spouse's financial disclosure statement? Was it dealt with in any way in your final divorce decree? If it was not disclosed, whether intentionally or by neglect, if it is more than $500 in value, you can claim a constructive trust over the money and for your children, pursuant to Wisconsin statutory law; also keep in mind that generally personal injury money, under Wisconsin law is not exempt property like gifts or inheritances, but the case law indicates that the principal award should go to the person who was injured, and the non injured spouse can only claim the portion of the settlement related to payment of uninsured medical expenses or that portion of the claim that relates to lost wages. Under Wisconsin DCF guidelines, disability compensation is "gross income" and can be used for support purposes.
